Your Battery
Has More Life in It.

A chemical treatment that reverses sulfation, the silent process behind 80% of premature lead-acid battery failure.

Inside the Battery

Lead. Acid.
And a cycle that breaks.

Industrial lead-acid batteries, found in forklifts, warehouses, and logistics fleets, hold alternating lead plates submerged in sulfuric acid electrolyte.

During discharge, lead sulfate (PbSO₄) naturally forms on the plates. During recharge, it dissolves back into active material. A clean, self-correcting cycle. Until it stops being clean.

When it doesn't, the chemistry slowly turns against the battery.

The Silent Failure

What actually kills
a battery.

Every time a battery sits undercharged, discharges too deeply, or goes weeks without maintenance, PbSO₄ crystals begin hardening on the lead plates.

"Soft crystals that should dissolve during charging — don't. They grow. They harden. They stay."

This is sulfation, responsible for the vast majority of premature lead-acid battery failures worldwide. It reduces plate surface area, blocks ion flow, and causes the battery to hold progressively less and less charge. Eventually, a fully charged battery can no longer power a full shift.

Healthy Plate

Full surface exposed. Ions move freely. Full rated capacity available.

Sulfated Plate

Surface blocked by hardened crystals. Capacity severely reduced.

The Cost of Inaction

One process.
Three kinds of damage.

Physical

Plate surface area shrinks. Charge acceptance drops. A battery that's technically "fully charged" behaves like it's nearly empty. The decline is gradual, invisible, and relentless.

Financial

Replacing an industrial traction battery costs €3,000–5,000. Add 6–8 weeks of forklift downtime. Multiply that across a fleet. Sulfation left untreated becomes an enormous operating expense.

Environmental

Each industrial battery contains 20–80 kg of lead and sulfuric acid. Premature disposal multiplies hazardous waste. Every battery restored by Battreat is one less in a landfill.

The Treatment

Battreat is
the other option.

A liquid chemical activator, injected directly into battery cells. Battreat dissolves crystallized PbSO₄ back into active material, then inhibits re-formation so sulfation cannot reclaim the plate surface.

The plates recover. Ion flow restores. Capacity climbs back toward original rated values, measured, documented, and verified with standardized discharge tests.

No special hardware Works with standard chargers No operational downtime

The Process

Three phases. No guesswork.

Every Battreat service follows a structured three-phase protocol. Each phase is documented, measured and verified against international IEC 60254 standards.

Phase 01

Diagnosis

Before C5 Discharge Test

  • Visual and physical inspection of battery body, terminals and connections
  • Static voltage measurement across all cells
  • Full capacity conditioning charge
  • Thermal stabilization at ambient temperature
  • Reference voltage recording
  • C5 discharge test under rated load
  • Critical 10-minute observation under load
  • Cell performance X-Ray: electrolyte density measured per cell via hydrometer
  • Baseline capacity report issued

Phase 02

Treatment

Battreat Application and Activation

  • Battery returned to charge cycle
  • Charge duration calibrated to battery age
  • Battreat injected into each cell after the first hour of charging
  • Active chemical reaction dissolves PbSO₄ crystals across plate surface
  • Electrolyte density begins recovery toward optimal 1.280 g/cm³
New batteries (<1.5 yrs): 10-hour optimised charge
Worn batteries: 20-hour deep charge cycle
Dose: 120 ml of Battreat per cell

Phase 03

Verification

After C5 Discharge Test

  • Final thermal stabilization
  • Post-application voltage, cell voltage and Baumé values recorded
  • Verification C5 discharge test performed
  • Before and after capacity comparison documented
  • Cyclic improvement guidance issued: Battreat continues working for 15 to 20 charge cycles
  • Performance report delivered to client

Documented Performance

The numbers don't lie.

Every result is drawn from Battreat field service records, each supported by standardized IEC 60254 / EN 50342 C5 discharge test measurements. Pre- and post-treatment readings. No estimates.

FAQ

Common questions,
straight answers.

What battery types is Battreat suitable for?
Battreat is suitable for flooded lead-acid batteries that use liquid electrolyte. This includes starter (SLI), traction, and stationary battery types across all brands.
Does Battreat work on batteries declared as scrap?
It does not recover batteries with physical hardware damage or complete cell failure. However, for batteries that have lost performance due to sulfation, even those written off by other service providers, Battreat consistently delivers significant results, as documented in our field case studies.
Does Battreat damage the battery?
No. Battreat's chemical formula is specifically designed not to react with lead plates. When applied correctly, it does not harm the battery. On the contrary, it extends its operational life.
Can I apply Battreat myself?
Yes, if you have a standard charger, you can apply Battreat yourself. The safety kit included with the product must be used during application, and the process must be carried out in a well-ventilated area.
When is the improvement noticeable after application?
Performance improvement can be observed after the first charge-discharge cycle. For full results, 2 to 3 complete cycles are recommended. Battreat continues working for 15 to 20 cycles after application.
How long does an application take?
A Battreat application typically takes between 4 and 12 hours depending on the battery's capacity. Charge and discharge cycles are performed during this period.
How many times can Battreat be applied to a battery?
One application per year is generally sufficient for each battery. This may vary depending on usage intensity and operating conditions.
Can Battreat be applied to new batteries?
Yes. Battreat is not only for problem batteries. It can also be applied to new batteries as a preventive measure to inhibit sulfation and extend operational life from the start.
Does Battreat work across different battery brands?
Yes. Battreat is compatible with flooded lead-acid batteries from all manufacturers, including starter, traction, and stationary types, regardless of brand.
